Product Information

Full details

Designed for versatility, this stool offers a sturdy 150kg weight capacity and a foldable design that tucks away into narrow spaces, making it perfect for kitchens, garages, and caravans.

How thick is the stool when folded?

Can this be used on slippery tile floors?

Yes, the stool is equipped with rubberized feet designed to provide grip and stability on smooth surfaces.

Is the stool suitable for outdoor use?

While it can be used outdoors for tasks like gardening or motorhome access, it should be stored indoors or in a dry area when not in use to prevent rust.

Troubleshooting

The stool will not lock into the open position

Ensure the frame is fully extended and that no debris is obstructing the spring-button mechanism.

The stool feels wobbly on the floor

Verify that all four rubberized feet are in contact with the ground and that the floor surface is level.

The folding mechanism is stiff

Clean the hinge points of any dust or dirt and ensure the spring buttons are not stuck.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely space-saving design for easy storage
  • High 150kg weight capacity provides stability
  • Anti-slip surface and feet enhance user safety
  • Sturdy steel construction ensures longevity
  • Versatile enough for both indoor and outdoor use

Cons

  • Fixed platform height may not reach very high ceilings

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the stool is straightforward: simply pull the sides apart until the spring-button locks click securely into place. Always verify that the locking mechanism is fully engaged before stepping onto the platform. When finished, press the buttons and fold the stool flat for storage.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for residential, workshop, and automotive use.
  • Safe for use on most flat, stable flooring including wood, tile, and concrete.

Care:

  • Wipe the surface clean with a damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals that might degrade the non-slip coating.
  • Keep the hinges clear of debris and occasionally apply a light silicone lubricant if the folding mechanism becomes stiff.
  • Store in a dry place to prevent potential surface rust on the steel frame.
